I like this life advice from Jeff Strong, former president and chief customer officer for Johnson & Johnson.
Take care of yourself. Savor every minute of every day of your life. There is only one you. You are not immortal. You can and will wear down and wear out, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Get a good night's sleep as many nights as you can. Drink plenty of water. Eat healthy and nutritious food. Exercise. Make sure you take the time you need to disengage from work, to re-energize, and to connect with the people and experiences that fill you with love and energy. Invest in your relationships; they are what provide happiness and meaning to your life. Challenge and stretch your mind by learning new and difficult (but worthwhile) things--things that don't have anything to do with your job. Feed your soul with love, truth, light, and service. Love and lift others along the way.
